That's billion with a B. So if you held out hope that filling out surveys or shitposting through it might turn this ship around, no. That much money has an event horizon.

@jwz Their money comes from Google. They do what Alphabet tell them to do. This is the elephant in the room with Mozilla.

@jwz What is with their Goatse logo?
@earwigplanet @jwz Reach inside a gaping asshole and you find... Firefox.

@jwz Mozilla should just donate money to Servo and Ladybird.

@jwz Maybe I will sound like Cato " Carthago delenda est" to say it over and over again, but for now Mozilla has last independent browser engine. I know about Google donations for it, but still until new engine is not ready we have only Mozilla with all Headquarter stupidity.

@jwz That's it, I'm backing up my bookmarks and changing browsers, I'm not even anti-AI, but this is just ridiculous, nobody is asking for this.
-
Vivaldi is neat. And the promised not to put any AI in their Browser.
@czauner @csstrowbridge The problem with that being that they need to release & relicense their source code before allocating any amount of trust to them is even remotely on the table. -
@jwz
Meanwhile the AI companies are burning the planet to build browsers from scratch as a benchmark.
https://cursor.com/blog/scaling-agentsThis is how we all lose.

@jwz Well, the good thing is I had a great reason to stop donating to Mozilla.

@GreatBigTable
This is sort of happening with Servo, which started as a Mozilla project to improve rendering on Firefox before it got cut and ended up in thr hands of thr Linux Foundation: https://servo.org/
@jwz@logomancer that would be nice if it turned into something. I remember when Firefox was an upstart pet project.
It gained momentum and features that people actually wanted. After a while, it was hard to ignore.
That's what we need right now.
A large swath of people keep asking for tools without AI. It sounds like Libre Office is experiencing a surge in usage because of this. It would be great for a browser project to step into this gaping void.

I'm old enough to remember when the AI company with $1,400,000,000 in the bank held a bake sale to keep their mail reader running. https://mastodon.social/@jwz/111546146333271392

@oblomov @cstross @jwz Consider that Mozilla being cooked has a few decades of history.
Back around 2007ish, I was working with a few folk who either came from or later went to Mozilla. Anyhow, some of them were involved with the XHTML 2.0 spec.
Which was finished.
But then got ditched.
Because Googleites insisted a "living spec" was the right thing, which can only be implemented by whoever throws the most money at it, and we now have HTML5 and a browser engine monopoly.
And Mozilla?
